New Embossing Folder

I used the new embossing folder from the Holiday catalog for this card.  It adds it's own elegance and needs very little to complete the look.

New Bow Die

I just love this new Stampin' Up bow die that will be available starting August 1st from the Holiday catalog.  It is so versatile and fun!  I am showing just one way in which it can be used.  Stay tuned for additional ideas.

Demonstrator Stamp 'n Chat card

This was my card for last evening's demonstrator stamp 'n chat.  I used one of the new sets from our new catalog.  I think the black and white make it very elegant.  I also used this for my oldest daughter's birthday.  I know she will like the clean and simple lines.

Photopolymer Stamps

I love how this card came together.  I used one of the new photopolymer sets to make the cross.  Easy to line up when the stamps are clear!  The set is called Show & Tell 2.

I also used the thank you from a new set called Lots of Thanks.  The ink and card stock are a new in-color called Baked Brown Sugar.

Want to know how I got the brown-hued rhinestone?  I just used a brown sharpie pen to color it!

Wildflower Meadow

I used the new Wildflower Meadow stamp and matching embossing folder to make this card.  It is a great new way to be able to stamp and then add dimension to your card--all matching!

Washi Tape

Stampin' Up is now offering Washi Tape which is so popular these days.  I created this card using the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape.  There are a lot of fun uses for this new embellishment!

Vocation Video

I don't often share personal experiences here, as this is my "Crafty" site, but I would like to share my son's vocation video for anyone who may be interested in viewing it.  Since I did mention previously that he was recently ordained a priest, you can see here how he was called to this vocation.
